Yep, you're gonna get flooded due to the other thread.
IAC, you still doing these? If so, I'm probably up for at least one of the builds. |

A US-based company faces a huge risk in developing anything nowadays, knowing that it will be stolen by the Chinese and mass-produced, then sold by other US retail companies who couldn't care less than anyone else in the short-term other than themselves. I would love to have command of the Pacific submarine fleet for a year. Issue out a warning to all the shipping vessel companies that lease out their VLCCs, and tell them any ships coming out of Chinese harbors are fair game. I do not like thievery. It wouldn't hurt to take back our canal either. |

This is one of the largest factors which should be corrected in our trade with that commie crap hole. Did you patent your design? Do you have any recourse? This is why I’ve stopped using Amazon. It’s all Chinese crap |

I talked to the OP (I believe) via email they are still selling the hats on his site he said he's selling a lot of them and has more colors available. I placed my order today I'll post back up when I get it. (he'll reach out to me via email for my head size, color selection, and that sort of thing).

He emailed me yesterday when I asked if he was still up and running. I ordered today and he hasn’t asked for my info yet but assume he will soon. I don’t know how long he takes to make and ship but figure it’s worth a wait. Edit: he emailed me for my info the next day. 9/1 Edit2: he shipped and sent me tracking 9/3 |

I didn’t know this thread was still alive.
I’ve been busier than ever, so no real time to post in forums but heard that there were some questions here. I’m working with other veterans and expanding operations to meet the demand with these. I have 2 orders right now where the customers haven’t responded to the email I sent out to get sizing and exact custom specs. Some people don’t normally respond to their emails associated with PayPal, so they order and then there’s a delay before we can get sizing. I’m a stickler on getting the sizing to-order. It’s not just the circumference of the cap/headband, but the height of the cap fit to your head. Some people have Frankenstein/Neanderthal domes like me, while others have shorter little craniums. A one-size hat just doesn’t look or feel good on many heads. If anyone has placed an order and is wondering where their order is, without having heard anything about sizing, check your email you use for PayPal. Within 12hr, no later than 24hr, I send out an email to each customer to get the build specs dialed-in for you. I’m using my hats 3-4 times per week personally because I get beat up by the sun if I don’t. |

I received the email order confirmation and quick follow up from you(LRRPF52), and changed my order slightly...Went with Coyote Tan as I figured that would work best for my needs. I've got a large-ish noggin, but the normal boonie cover height/depth seemed to work fine for me. I'm looking forward to getting it and trying it out. As a pale pasty white person, being able to prevent my face, ears, and neck from roasting in the sun is a good thing. |

Got my hat, quality is obvious. The brim is quite bent up from shipping hoping it straightens itself out a bit. It’s a tad small, I should have gone with the extra large and not the large because my head really is huge. It will probably stretch a little bit as I wear it.
The ear muff design is awesome, they can be easily put on while wearing the hat. I am curious as to how much sun the neck mesh will stop. I believe it will be better than the nothing or the single layer with no-reapplication of sunscreen I normally wear while in a full day class but it feels so light it’s hard to believe it will stop everything haha. My wife was laughing at me wearing it (which is normal) but I regret nothing! I’ll update more as I actually get out and use it. |

Got mine the other day.
The design is interesting, but looks very effective. It appears very well made and sturdy. So it should stand up to several years of abuse on the range, (sun, sweat, etc) We're starting to get into Fall weather here in Missouri, so I likely wont get alot of use out of this before next year, but I'm glad I've got it. |
